The short answer
Dr. Ackerman starts with a free consultation, exam, and 3D X-ray to determine whether you need full-mouth reconstruction. She reviews your goals and explains her treatment recommendations, costs, and financing options before you make a decision.
When several teeth are damaged, it can be difficult to know whether they all need to be replaced. In this video, Dr. Regan Ackerman explains how she evaluates your mouth and helps you understand whether full-mouth reconstruction is appropriate.
So how do if you’re a candidate for a full mouth reconstruction? The first step is just to do the consultation with me. It is no charge, so it’s free, so there’s no commitment. The x-ray, the 3D x-ray that we take is part of the free consultation. So the first step to see if you’re a candidate for full mouth reconstruction, or if you even need it. I’ve had several patients come in and thinking they want all their teeth taken out, and I’ve said, "No, you’re not there yet."
So let’s see if you’re a candidate, if you need full mouth reconstruction. Do the free consultation, and I’ll assess the X-ray, the 3D X-ray. I’ll do an exam. We’re going to talk and see what your goals are, why you need this full mouth reconstruction. We’ll go over then my recommendations and the treatment plan.
We’ll also discuss the cost and any financing. We’ll go over everything at that free consultation. Thank you.

Start with an assessment
Dr. Ackerman notes that some patients expect to need every tooth removed when that is not her recommendation. The consultation gives you a clearer understanding of what needs treatment and why. Your plan should reflect the examination and your goals.
